Dataset description

The dataset contains European annual median composite mosaics of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) for the years 2012–2024, derived from monthly cloud-free average radiance grids of the VIIRS Day/Night Band (DNB). Radiance values have been processed using the Dark Object Subtraction method with a Moving Window (DOS-MW) correction to suppress residual noise in the annual VIIRS median mosaics (nW/cm2/sr). The original annual global nighttime light products are distributed by the Earth Observation Group (EOG), Payne Institute for Public Policy, Colorado School of Mines, and are available from the EOG website: https://eogdata.mines.edu/products/vnl/.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
